"   Question My 6-year-old daughter has a permanent discharge from her nose.  It is very thick and usually green, although it does not run as such, and there are no other symptoms of a cold.  Is this just a continual cold or is there another infection present?  She is generally fit and well.   Answer The most likely cause for a greenish discharge from the nose in a child is the common cold.  Sometimes a cold can take weeks to disappear completely and during this time the child may have some yellowy-green discharge from both nostrils, although usually as time goes by the discharge decreases in amount and becomes clearer in colour.  Unfortunately, before the symptoms of one cold have gone a child may have picked up another one, and this can result in a discharge from the nose that seems to be almost continuous for several weeks. There is another possible cause for your daughter&amp;#039;s persistent nasal discharge \u2013 a foreign body (like a bead or other tiny object) stuck up one nostril.  This is less likely to be the cause in a 6-year-old than it is in toddlers (who seem very fond of pushing objects into noses and ears!) but it&amp;#039;s worth shining a torch up both nostrils just to check that there&amp;#039;s nothing wedged there that could be causing irritation and infection.  If you think you can see anything in her nose, don&amp;#039;t try to take it out yourself. It&amp;#039;s easy to push a foreign body further into the nose, and removal is best done by a doctor, possibly using a small surgical instrument.
